Who are you?” “And yes, in fact, your father did give me permission to put the bar up.” Amazing how easy it is to walk up the stairs, isn’t it? He grabbed a towel and wiped the sweat off his forehead. The house shook as he landed on his feet. “Did my father give you permission to put that thing in the doorway?” He was a bastard-but there was no denying he was beautiful. His hard abs were now staring me in the face, ripples of carved muscle. He wore a T-shirt that rode up each me he rose. He used a bar affixed to the top of the door to lift himself up.

Outside, pure white snow blankets the trees and fence, blanketing the Unconsecrated.

It was in 1889 that the Three Sisters were built – the island’s finest examples of Victorian architecture. In 1889, the population on the island doubled from 100 to 200 residents after a fire devastated Seattle’s business district. Instead, the island is encircled by floating buoys that warn ships they’re close to land. He hated lighthouses and managed to talk his fellow Islanders into outlawing the structures when they wrote the first charter in 1857. One of those early settlers was Benjamin Franklin Montgomery, who had grown up as one of seven sons of a lighthouse keeper in Maine. Vancouver’s original moniker, Feather Island, will forever remain a footnote in the history books. They called it Blackberry Island in celebration of the fruit bushes that dotted the island landscape. He spent only two hours on the island before he reboarded his ship, which may explain why American settlers who arrived in 1848 via the Oregon Trail were unaware that the island already had a name. Blackberry Island was discovered in 1792 by George Vancouver, a British naval captain who extensively explored the Puget Sound. With Seattle to the north and east and Bainbridge Island to the west, Blackberry Island is approximately six miles long and four miles wide at its widest point. ![]() ![]() ![]() Or when I'd used the one thing that came easy to me, skiing, to get my college tuition paid for.
